When you (and ideally a group of your friends) adopt one of these sites, you take responsibility for ensuring it is clean and free of litter, but you&#8217;re also the watchdog to make sure people aren&#8217;t polluting nearby waterways. Through the Conservation Corps, you can register to adopt and clean up your local lake, river, or pond once a year for a minimum of two years. By adopting your local waterways, you can help take care and look after them, keeping them healthy and free of trash and pollution.<\/p>\n<section id=\"content\">\n<h2>Relevant United Nations<br \/>\nSustainable Development Goals<\/h2>\n<p>The United Nations\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/sustainable-development-goals\/\">Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>\u00a0(UN SDG\u2019s) are a list of projects and actions that all countries can take on to improve their economies and reduce poverty while also protecting the planet.
